AIW 9000 and MCE2005 - Media Center is not working

I have dell PC (Dimension 4600) with ATI 9000 readon card. Recently I have
upgraded my OS from MCE 2004 to MCE 2005. My MCE 2004 use to work without any
issues but when I installed (with the help of DELL support), my Media Center
stopped working. I am not able to play any video.

I do not have any issues playing the video using other tools (example:
Windows Media Player), never have any problems.

I am getting error 'Your video card or drivers are not compatible with Media
Center', after I open Media Center in MCE2005.

I have tried getting the drivers installed from ATI website, but still I am
getting this error.

System:

DELL Dimention 4600
Video/TV Capture card: AIW 9000

Anyone know what could be the problem?

Thanks,
Shailendra

Most likely you have no DVD decoder software on your computer after the
upgrade since it is none is included in MCE.
Suggest you get the Nvidia PureVideo decoder package from their Website for
$20.

Thanks Curious for your reply on this.

I want to make sure the hardware is compatible with MCE2005 before I buy
Decoder software. I heard lot of stories on this that this may not work on
MCE2005. I would like to get everyone opinion on this.

Thanks David for the reply and suggestion.

I am just wondering whether this is anything to do with DirectX version or
MPEG2.

In addition to the decoder issue, does the 9000 supports DirectX 9? I seem
to find varying info on the web as to whether any 9000 supports it or only
some 9000 cards.

Well try it for free then the Nvidia XP Pure Video MPEG2 decoder was
specifically designed to work on XP.

Other experts have already suggested what you have to do. I wish to add the
following utility that helps you to 'determine if an MPEG-2 video decoder
(also called a DVD decoder) is installed' on your computer...

Thanks Sengupta for your reply.

I have used the utility you suggested to check the MPEG-2 video decor. I got
following results.

Looks like there are lot of decoders are installed in my system but looks
like only one is compatible with Media Center.

Decoder Vendor: Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder for Dell
Decoder File name: clvsd.ax
Decoder version: 3.5.0.3204
MCE Compatible: I saw a check mark
Preferred Decoder: I saw a check mark

Does this means my system has correct decoder ?

David and others,

I did installed the Video Decoder fromnVIDIA website and checked with
DECCHECK utility and everything looks great.

Then I started Media Center, I got the same error 'Your video card or
drivers are not compatible with Media Center'

I use to get another message in the Media Center following this error message

Title of the error: VIDEO ERROR
Message: Files needed to display video are not installed or not working
correctly. Please restart Media Center and/or restart the computer' with 'OK'
button.

I have tried closing and reopening but I am getting the same errors.

Anyone have seen this kind of error message. I am sure someone might...
